FYI all, April 14, 2014 there will be a total lunar eclipse. For the those that can stay up for it, it begins just before midnite CDT, totality will occur beginning just after 2AM CDT(april 15) and last for 75minutes. The moon will turn a dark red color thus earning the name "Blood Moon"....

One of my lingering concerns has been weather related issues. I grew up in a land of tornadoes and as such take weather pretty seriously. I would love to hear some weather related stories and what folks did to get through it to give me some piece of mind :)

Well we've got the RV, now we need to get the truck. We've been looking on/off for the past year to get ideas. Why is it so hard to find a Dodge/Chevy/GMC 3500 SINGLE rear wheel longbed truck? We know that a dually gives more stability, but I really would rather not have that extra bulk driving and park...

It's been a really intense 6 weeks. A rapid 1K repositioning to Dallas to be with Dale's Mom for the last week of her life, followed by the memorial / graveside services and then trying to provide as much support as possible to Dale's Dad through this life transition of losing his wife of 64.5 years.

Hello Everyone, Ok, I will be 62 in May and am jumping ship. I just bought a 30ft HYLINE TT that I will park in my sister's backyard for the summer months in Ohio. My questions are: Is it ok to park the TT on the grass or should I put something under the tires? There are no jacks with this TT, will any sort of j...

As my daughter told me today, "it never rains, it pours, and I think you live in a rainforest!" House is officially listed now, with the open house on Sunday (in 3 days). Still lots of last minute things to do to prepare for it. One was replacing almost all the outlets (not outlet covers) in t...
